What a great close up! What has he/she been eating to make his mustache?:D

Hmmm Comet as in something special that rarely happens, then it does and your caught by surprise while being awed and humbled??

P.S. Don't thank me, it was a great idea and stood firmly on it's own feet.

WoooHooo!
This is FANTASTIC!

I like Comet...it is rare and gives the impression of speedy movement that not everyone is lucky enough to see...perfect tortoise name!

He's adorable!

OK its official COMET it is.
When I named my two Greeks, I set up a sort of scrap book (binder really) with their names Ajax and Echo and the definitions or stories of their names (Greek Mythology). The binder has all this info including Vet visits, favorite food, weights and lengths etc. that I keep. Now Comet will have his too. Complete with the definitions you two have given.
Jacqui and Cam thanks.

Plus an friend of mine (an astrophysicist, pretty reliable) just told me that a comet named 17P/Holmes which is usually too faint to see has brightened by a factor of a million and now resembles a bright yellow star.

Oh, and his mustache from his favorite -dandilions and cats-tongue.

This is how Comets first page reads.

Born late Oct. 2007 - Guessing Oct. 29-31, 2007 in an outside pen to parents Ajax and Echo.

Comet brightens mysteriously by a factor of a million

A comet usually too faint to be seen with the naked eye has brightened by a factor of a million since Tuesday, Astronomers are scrambling to observe the strange object.
Comet 17P/Holmes, which orbits the Sun every seven years on a path that takes it from the distance of Jupiter's orbit to about twice that of Earth's, is usually 25,000 times too dim to be seen with the naked eye. But since 23 October, it has brightened by a million times and now resembles a bright yellow star.

Thanks all for all the support and care shown. It's really fun and scary being a new mom. So I want to say thanks to all of you out there on tfo.

I was just curious what Comet's mama and papa think. Or are they separated?

I know less than nothing about the breeding arena.

I don't know about anybody else, but I know I sorta live vicariously thru everyone else's animals. If something happens to them, I feel hurt and sad. Not as much as I do when it's one of my own, but still I feel. It's great when it's something so excitingly pleasant and unexpected that happens to somebody in here. It makes the times when you feel discouraged or the dismal weather is getting you down just fade away. You start feeling more positive. So I think we should be thanking you Crazy for sharing this magical time and Comet with us.
